“8 Therefore it says, ‘When He ascended on high He led a host of captives, and He gave gifts to men.’” ~ Ephesians 4:8
When Jesus died, that wasn’t the final story. He didn’t just sit in Hades twiddling His thumbs as He waited to be risen on the third day. No, He witnessed to those who were in Paradise with Him, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Daniel, etc. All of those who had died, He witnessed to that they may have life as well.
See Jesus didn’t come to just save the living, but also the dead. He took the time to witness and release those who had died from the chains of Hades and death, and He will take the time to release you from the same chains that squeeze the life out of you. No matter how dead you are in your sin, if you listen you will be able to hear Jesus’ whisper to you in the wind to arise.
No matter how far a loved one has strayed, Jesus is still calling to them. While there is breath, no amount of Spiritual Death is too much for Jesus to overcome. He already defeated the grave, you only have to accept His hand to join His train of captives and awake.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Join His Train.
